The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

Excellent service. Allowed additional food items to be added to nachos! Nachos were phenomenal! Tacos were fire! Some of the food is pretty spicy and I like spicy food but asking for sour cream helped. Great service. Didn’t wait long for food. Would definitely go back.
